<p>Dear Kenan,</p>
<p>from your output it is clear that the disentanglement step was
not successful in minimising Omega_I. This usually means that
either the initial projections aren't good or that the energy
windows you specified are not good. Also you are not minimising
Omega since you have specified num_iter = 0. <br>
</p>
<p>A possible solution could be to delete the dis_froz_max and
dis_froz_min from the input (these are advanced keywords that
should be used only if you know exactly what you are doing) and
play with dis_win_max instead (dis_win_max = 2 to start with).
Also you want num_iter > 0 (ie 1000).<br>
</p>
<p>Having said that, for 2D materials it is usually harder to find
the correct parameters for a good interpolation of the band
structure. <br>
</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>
<p>Valerio<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am a new user in Wannier90 code.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am currently using Wannier90 (version 2.1.0)
to compute the Hamiltonian matrix based on
maximally localised wannier basis. I overlap the
band structure calculated by wannier90 code with
that calculated by VASP code (version 5.4.1). They
match well according to me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, I also check 'wannier90.wout' file and
find the spread of the wannier function is very
large (maximum value reaches 104.34329562) while
the lattice constant is just 2.5 Angstroms. I am
not sure whether the hamiltonian I obtained is
really reliable or not. I have been trying to
modify the frozen energy window and number of
disentanglement iteration many times but the
spread of the wannier function is till very large.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I paste my 'wannier90.win' and 'wannier90.wout'
files below. Would anyone please provide any
suggestion on how to modify the input parameter so
as to reduce the spread of the wannier function?
Thank you very much in advance.</div>
